From the Herald-Leader:
Hoops for Haiti came together within just a couple of days, WKYT news director Robert Thomas said. Station manager Wayne Martin and Calipari discussed the idea and sprang into action.
"It took a lot of involvement, not just from the news team but everybody at WKYT," Thomas said. "It raised an unbelievable amount of money."
Thomas said Calipari was involved from start to finish.
"It was his brainchild for something for the basketball team and the community to come together to do," he said.
